Question 3 What kind of media instiution might distribute your media product and why?

The publishing house I have decided to publish my magazine with is Conde Nast who currently do not feature any music magazines in there publishing house.
Conde Nast is a world wide publishing company. Condé Nast is run by S.I. Newhouse Jr, and is a division of Advance Publications, who has owned the company since 1959.

Most of conde nasts magazines focus on fashion and I think my music magazine will fit in really well with the magazines they currently have because music influences fashion. Rock music has influenced what its listeners wear for centuries and rock music is very controversial and this contrasts though the cloths. Conde Nast will benefit because they will be branching out into new territory and could get a wider audience than just fashion readers.


Condé Nast was one of the first British publishers on the Internet and has carved itself a reputation for being among the very best. I have my own website for my magazine like all the other magazines at Conde Naste which is why I think my magazine should be published by Conde Naste. Further more I am making an app and Conde Naste and apple already have ties with each other.

Rock is becomming more popular these days and the demand for it gets higher and higher every time a celebrity decides to reinvent themself or try the rock star look. Rock is a ever growing genre as celebrities such as Rhianna have changed her looks from pop to rock but now moved more to her Barbarian roots.

This is a photo of Rhianna dressed as slash. Rhianna has a huge fan base and some will follow her change in genre which has gives rock a bigger fan base.

Not just Rhianna has seen the protenual in change other stars have seen it aswell which is why i believe that Conde Nast can benefit from having a magazine based on a genre of music which is very popular for reinvention of stars.

Conde Nast would also benefit from adding my magazine to there publishing house because the magazine I made also has a website which will encouage people to subscribe to the magazine. My magazine also has an app they which will remind people to subscribe to my magazine.
With subscribers you get a loyal fan base which is good for a magazines image because the more people subscribe the more money you get and you start to understand what your readers want if your subscribers go up after a certain article is published.

My magazine could be distributed in all corner shops and typical places to find magazines such as WHSmiths, supermarkets and shop stands at stations.
I would also like my magazine to be sold in topshop because thats where my target audience are more likely to shop so having my magazine at topshop would mean it will most likely get brought.

I also think that my magazine would sell well in the apple stores because of my name. I made the name of my magazine I-Rock because the letter 'I' has a modern feel to it because of apples I range products such as I-pod, I-mac, I-pad and I-phone and because my magazine has 'I' in the title it will fit in well in the apple stores and on my front cover I am advertising my own application for mobile phones.
